This is the second relase from this swedish band, they had already released a demo called "In the bleak minder". Spirit Of Purity offers
8 songs of symphonic Black Metal, It remind me to Crimson Moonlight in the "Eternal Emperor EP" and Dimmu Borgir.

"Riket" (The Empire) is the first song, it's in swedish, it's nice, it have energy and it is pretty much sorrounded by symphonic melodies,
the vocals also remind me to Crimson Moonlight (Early). This song is the fastest and the most outstanding. I love it!
You can feel a dark feeling in the next song called "The Dark Desires" the guitars remains pretty well done and the vocals are in a high-pitch tone,
it also have some death metal vocals in some parts of the song. "Release From Pain" also follow the same way. "Spirit Of Purity" is an awesome song,
it is pretty insane, and brutal! it still keep the symphonic stuff, yet it is more brutal than the rest."Allharskaren" (The Emperor) is the next song is pretty symphic but it has a brutal touch in it. "Landscape" start with a nice keyboards intro then it erupts
into black metal. "The Dark Embrace Of Night" remains symphonic but with pretty fast and blasting drumming. The Last Song "The Wanderer" starts with a slow intro
after one minute the guitars, vocals and drums are show up.

Production is average in this album. The cover bring peace to your soul. This album clocks over fourty minutes great huh? If you don't have it I recommend you to buy it is awesome!!

Alone, I wander through this dark valley.
Eternally, I feel the pain of my heart. I am
embraced by sheer death and agony
weighed down by grief.

Within despair i will remain, until the casket
becomes my bed. This dark embrace of
grief, entices me with chains of red. But
listen, hear the cries of another man in pain.
Blood as red as the blood dripping from my chains.

Behold, a lamb, nailed to a cross, filled with
the sins of mankind. But still his tears are
shining of hope, his death is not his end.
Arisen from hades, satan enslaved, the dusk
turned to dawn. Take his hand, reveal his
gift, do not fear the death of mourn.

Like an endless sound you whisper. Like
burning fire you walk through water. Where
water is calm there is my yearning to appeal
you. If danger lie in wait at night i will not
fear my destiny because you surround me
with courage of victory.

Shadows embrace the sorrows of pain.
The dawn reveal the brew of life. Spirit of purity,
my soul you shield.

O you mighty spirit. Before time you were
created. From the father you have arised,
Your greatness no one can conquer. O you
mighty spirit. Before time you were created.
You are an essence of power, the timeless
universe you embrace.

The demons of darkness cannot fight him.
His power is eternal. As a wind he liberates,
liberates the curse of hell. The messenger of
purity you are, like a flame of fire you fill my
soul. So fill my soul with purity, purity by the
blood of Christ.
